  I would say details, no spiral, anything odd-ring, but that is just me. There is no correct answer. It looks as if the simulation is making a nuclear ring of star formation. 2.2 Nucleus, nuclear bulge, and bulgeless, X-shaped bulges , nuclear rings https://talk.galaxyzoo.org/#/boards/BGZ0000001/discussions/DGZ0000wrb?page=2
